So, Rob Smith has pawned his backbone and gone crawling back to Conservapedia, where’s he’s doing a great job whitewashing the Newt Gringrich article, even if his debating skills are less coherent than before.
Just had to share this little gem with you all:
I’ll be doing a play-by-play on Barack Hussein’s hate speech, this will be the the first time ever I’ve sat through one of his speeches, so it’ll be unbiased.
Yes, Rob, calling the State of the Union address “hate speech” is really unbiased of you.
I was originally going to title this “Views from the Outside looking In,” but the more I wrote, the more I realised I needed a heading that expressed my ever-increasing exasperation with the US of A. I’m not sure what’s wrong, but I’ve been watching the country descend from the being Bully on the Block, to the slightly embarrassing, slightly mad great Aunt, who owns far too many cats. So I’ve finally decided to sit down and post this rambling rant.
I think nothing exemplifies this slightly schizophrenic nature of the country more than the fact that Fox News has been simultaneously polled as being the most AND the least trusted news outlet in the US. Then again, it’s viewers have also been defined as being among the least informed, which might explain why most of its supporters are Republicans.
Creation Ministries International’s Question Evolution! contains some dodgy things, besides that the “15 questions evolutionist cannot answer” have in fact been answered. This leaves champion of the cause Ken DeMyer now having to preface it with “15 questions evolutionist can’t satisfactorily answer”, meaning that Ken is not going to accept their answers any way as they are not to his satisfaction.
Bottom line: People are going to go to hell, and eventually, after the Judgment, the Lake of Fire to be eternally separated from God. This is the high price to be paid by people if we decide to keep our hands down and our questions to ourselves.
Look at your friends and classmates next time you go to school. Do you want to be responsible for their eternal damnation because you refused to ask a simple question in class when you had a burning in your heart to do so?
That is right kiddies, don’t ask these questions and you are responsible for sending your class mates to hell. Continue reading →
We all know that Ken Demyer, Conservapedia’s resident man-child and the world’s worst debater hates evolution – mostly because he doesn’t understand it – but even by his standards, he’s sunk to a new low.
Not content with single-handedly screwing up racist bigot Andrew Schlafly’s blog with his badly… nay… abysmally worded drivel, mostly dealing with the non-existent Question Evolution campaign, he seems intent on discrediting them for once and for all.
His analogies with regards to just how he’s going to destroy atheism and evolution on the internet have become ever more violent. Not content with having the cheetah of creationism eat the buck of evolution, he’s had Christian fire destroy a building, while a lazy, atheist fireman looks on; he’s spoken about evolution being crushed like a can, the “tidal wave” of creationism crushing the hull of the ship of atheism and even atheism being “ground up into a fine pulp.”
However, now he may have gone too far.
His latest fantasy metaphor reads:
When the evolutionist high school biology teachers charge at the creationist students with their evolutionist evobabble, the creationist students are going to be ready.
In amongst this, he links to the video below. yes, the scene from Last Samurai, where the charging samurai are mowed down by machine guns. Given America’s problem with school shootings – and guns in general – not to mention these people have a habit of killing people they disagree with, like abortion doctors, Ken’s words take on an ominous meaning… even more so when fellow sysop, and Mr. Perpetually Angry, Brian Macdonald censors any criticism of Ken’s latest rambling.
I’m pretty sure that it’s just the hyper-active babbling of a crazy man-child, but given the collective crazy of these people, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if one of them acted on it.
This post originally started out as a follow-up from its predecessor, and I was going to pose the question “Why did God forsake Tim Tebow and the Broncos in their hour of need?” In fact, one could argue that God did a lot more than forsake them, given the 45-10 smashing they received at the hands of the New England Patriots, and the fact that the opposing quarterback threw a record 6 touchdown passes, whilst Tebow was awash in his fantastic mediocrity – 9 of 26 completions and only 136 yards. However, a few minutes on Google persuaded me to change my topic.
You see, the Rapture is almost upon us once again!
I have to hand it to Conservapedia – just when I throw my hands in the air and write them off, somebody in charge there steps up to the plate and delivers the special kind of crazy that racist bigot Andrew Schlafly and his cohort of hand-picked goons have made their own.
Lately, Schlafly et al has jumped on the wing-nut short bus surrounding Tim Tebow. For those of you who don’t know, Tebow is a second rate quarterback (the guy who throws the ball… in a football game. Go figure) for a second rate American football team, who’s more famous for being a god-botherer, than for being a pretty useless quarterback. You see, Tebow, has developed a habit of throwing (ahem!!) hallelujah passes, which win his team the game in the dying seconds. Needless to say, the right-wing fuckheads have leaped on this as a sign that Tebow is blessed by God… happily ignoring all his other teammates that played their guts out to get him into a position to make the winning pass in the first place. Still, it helps when you have Jesus on your side.
Whilst my colleague Π bravely risks head trauma to bring you, Dear Reader, the latest insanity from World Nut Daily, the onus has fallen upon me to find new sources of insanity and amusement for our readers. I fear we have already given nutjob creationist cum conspiracy theorist Terry Hurlbut far too much credibility and column inches here, and Conservapedia has become a pale shadow of its former glorious self. There is a glimmer of hope in Schlafly’s proposed “Persuasive Writing” course, but until then, and for as long as CP remains the domain of resident man-child Ken Demyer’s semi-literate “Atheists are fat / short / smelly / single /! Hur-hur!” output, they can be safely ignored.
Which brings me to “News with Views” – a site that comes across as WND-lite, but which is (in their own words) “dedicated to revealing lies, innuendo and agendas – wherever they may be. Our political affiliations are not to the left or the right, but to ‘what is right and true.’” With no sense of irony, they go on to claim, “NewsWithViews.com is NOT affiliated with any religious organizations or groups. We believe in God and our Lord Jesus Christ the Savior of mankind.“
Given that amongst the first thing you see on the advert-riddled main page are links to “Get your gold here!” and “Flu and Flu Vaccines”, you pretty much get the idea that they are firmly on the far, far, far, far right. Amongst the articles are pleas to “unmuzzle the preachers to endorse political candidates” (whilst keeping their tax exempt status, of course) and that the US needs an alternative currency.
WorldNetDaily has launched its new look website, and well, here it is:
Look familiar?
Yep it even has the sliding article thing, but unlike Terry’s it works.
WND of course had a poll on its new look. Option two was “WND is now the most contemporary website on the block”. Sure. Only a few seconds of rummaging through the code confirmed that WND, like Terry, is using an instillation of WordPress, although WND does not acknowledge this anywhere on the front page. So much for “the most contemporary”. On the other hand, it is kind of sad seeing someone doing a better job of what Terry is desperately trying to do, although WND did have professional help.
Well Terry I will give you some free advice to improve your website’s look:
Sorry I have fallen so unbelievably far behind in my postings on WorldNetDaily, but it has been Christmas, and along with all the usual hectic stuff that goes along with that, Wednesday last week I got engaged. My fiancée is Persian, so I also had to do something about Mithra’sbirthday too.
Being so far behind that I am not going to try and post to catch up, but I will give you some highlights:
Pamela Geller got to be the craziest person twice in one day, first with this gem about a reality TV show involving Muslims:
The fact is that the show specifically situates itself as a response to ‘Islamophobia’ – this was clear from the opening moments of the first show. But it is severely misleading, because it doesn’t deal with the kind of Muslims who would ever have caused anyone any concern in the first place. And I have been saying that since the show premiered.
I honestly can’t get my head around the logic of this. A show that counters the kind of Islamophobia Geller spreads is wrong because it is showing Muslims being normal Americans and not the caricature she presents? She got to follow it up with her weekly article:
Why would Obama want to ease sanctions on Iran? He sounds mentally ill. Or he wants a universal caliphate.
Yeah Pam those are the only two options, you are either mentally ill or you want a universal caliphate. At least she has made it clear on which side of that dichotomy she has fallen. Caliphate is the Islamophobic-right’s latest scare-word, they don’t know what it means, but they know what Glenn Beck told them it means. It means Muslims running the world. The Caliphate was the loose political entity that most Muslims lived under from Mohammed until the office of Caliph was dissolved into the Turkish Parliament in 1924. The Caliphate was about as coherent of a political entity as the Holy Roman Empire and at times multiple people or institutions simultaneously claimed the title of Caliph, the Ottomans being the most recent. It pretty much is the equivalent of claiming that Germans want to restart the Holy Roman Empire again, with the difference that the Nazis actually tried it once.
I might be being hyper-sensitive, but I can’t help but notice in this video by Molotov Mitch how he picks aspects of African-American culture as examples of things people are getting paid for by the government because they are lazy. Crypto-racism. It has been a while since I noticed it on WND, must be why it is cryptic.
The Xmas cheer has passed, I’m faced with a week of turkey leftovers, and I’m grumpy. I’m also cross-posting and combining posts I made to another blog, because I’m too full of plum pudding to write anything constructive here at the moment.
Except, “Bah humbug!” (which for years I thought was a Jewish holiday)
